=== Public Fedora Board Meeting on IRC ===
It was a pretty quiet week in Fedora-land.  Nothing really happened, so I guess we can just move ahead to the next section of Fedora Weekly News.


[[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] reminded[1] the community about the upcoming Fedora Board meeting on IRC.  The meeting will be on 2008-11-19 (Tuesday) at 19:00 UTC.
Wait, what?  Oh, yeah... how silly of me!  I guess there was that one small announcement, like the general availability of Fedora 10 on November 25.


"Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation.  This channel is read-only for non-Board members.  Join #fedora-board-public to discuss topics and post questions.  This channel is read/write for everyone.
=== Fedora 10 ===


The moderator will direct questions from the #fedora-board-public channel to the Board members at #fedora-board-meeting.  This should limit confusion and ensure our logs are useful to everyone."
Keeping with tradition, the [[FPL|Fedora Project Leader]] [[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] wrote[1] a thank you message to the Fedora community on the eve of the release.

Also keeping with tradition, on the morning of the release, a "whimsical" announcement was sent[2] out on the morning of the release.


=== Upcoming Bugzilla Activities ===
Naturally, some of the third-party packagers of Fedora (RPM Fusion and ATrpms) made their repositories available for Fedora 10 on the release day also [3,4].


[[JonStanley|Jon Stanley]] wrote[2] about some upcoming Bugzilla changes, that will coincide with Fedora 10's release.  There are two things of which people should be aware:  First, "we will be rebasing all rawhide bugs to F10. This will result in regular bugs reported against rawhide during the Fedora 10 development cycle being changed to version '10' instead of their current assignment, 'rawhide'.";  Second, "all bugs for EOL releases (at this point, Fedora 8) will get a comment on or about GA of Fedora 10, explaining that one month of maintenance remains, and to either move the bug to a later version if still applicable, or they will be automatically closed in one month with a resolution of WONTFIX."
Finally, Red Hat's CEO Jim Whitehurst sent a congratulatory email to the Fedora community [5].

It was a pretty quiet week in Fedora-land. Nothing really happened, so I guess we can just move ahead to the next section of Fedora Weekly News.

Wait, what? Oh, yeah... how silly of me! I guess there was that one small announcement, like the general availability of Fedora 10 on November 25.

Fedora 10

Keeping with tradition, the Fedora Project Leader Paul Frields wrote[1] a thank you message to the Fedora community on the eve of the release.

Also keeping with tradition, on the morning of the release, a "whimsical" announcement was sent[2] out on the morning of the release.

Naturally, some of the third-party packagers of Fedora (RPM Fusion and ATrpms) made their repositories available for Fedora 10 on the release day also [3,4].

Finally, Red Hat's CEO Jim Whitehurst sent a congratulatory email to the Fedora community [5].
